tural backgrounds, there is a strong network
of social support in Eugene that underscores
a sense of common heritage. The Chicano
student group MEChA holds conferences,
tutors ESL students, and boycotts certain
American food chains in solidarity with
abused Mexican farm workers. A local
organization called Amigos de los
Sobrevivientes offers free medical and legal
services to Latino survivors of political tor-
ture. Each month, Centro Latino-Americano
assists about 1,600 clients — 90 percent of
whom speak little or no English — with
occupational services.
Hulick-Baiza postulates that animosity
between English- and Spanish-speaking
Latinos in Eugene stems from shared roots.
“It’s easier to criticize somebody you know
little about,” he says. He suggests that
Mexican-Americans find common ground in
the U.S. and move forward from there.
“It’s a real slippery slope when Mexican-
Americans look back to Mexico for cultural
legitimacy,” he says. “But I don’t buy that.
This is my home. We need to claim the U.S.
as our country, too.”
